Imperial Star Destroyer
The Imperial Star Destroyer is an Imperial capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The encyclopedia calls the wedge-shaped Imperial-class Star Destroyers the core of the Imperial Navy: ships 1,600 metres long with more than a hundred weapon emplacements.
In the game
It carries six fighter squadrons and three troop regiments, more than the Alliance's Mon Calamari Cruiser, so it can both fight and carry an invasion force. Its heaviest guns face forward: fore turbolasers and ion cannons are both rated 100.
Against the Mon Calamari Cruiser it costs more (112 refined material against 92) and has a lower total attack strength (480 against 560), but a larger hull (2,750 against 2,400). Both have 300 shields.
Stats
Cost, capacity, shield and weapon-arc figures come from the in-game encyclopedia and match the game's data file exactly. The other values come straight from the data file. Ratings such as hyperdrive and maneuverability are internal numbers that the manual does not explain, so they are best used to compare ships.
25th Anniversary patch
The 25th Anniversary patch (3.0.9770) renames this ship the Imperial I Star Destroyer, with the same game slot and identical stats.
